  • Title: Quantitative bone scan and bone metastases in prostatic cancer.
    Author: Grob JC, Thiel J, Méthlin G, Wolf P, Bollack C.
    Journal: Urol Int; 1985; 40(1):45-7. PubMed ID: 3156441.
    Abstract:
    Bone scan is an essential method of investigation for the detection of metastases; it is also used to follow the evolution of the disease and the response to treatment in prostatic cancer. The authors tried a bone scan quantification method to better evaluate the efficiency of hormonal treatment. 28 patients were followed up by this method. Taken as a whole, quantitative scans show results very similar to those of standard scans. However, there are some differences between the two methods of interpretation. The quantitative method seems to be more effective.
